Welcome to Cloisters West. Our tree-lined community, situated in the northwest corner of historic Georgetown, is comprised of one hundred and nine federal-style townhouses built between 1985 and 1988. We are joined on the east by the twenty-nine-townhouse community called The Cloisters of Georgetown. Although the two communities are separate entities, we are known collectively as The Cloisters.
A private lane, Winfield Lane, runs through Cloisters West and all our homes, except those facing Reservoir Road, have a Winfield Lane address. Access to our community is from 37th Street and Reservoir Road, NW or via 35th Street NW where Winfield Lane T-intersects with 35th Street just south of Reservoir Road. The entrance at 36th Street and Reservoir Road is closed. It is only opened for emergency vehicles. Georgetown University is to our west, and Georgetown Visitation Preparatory is to our south.
Our community is incorporated as a homeowners association. We share roadways and certain landscaped areas in common. Our official name is the Cloisters West Homeowner's Association (CWHOA). We have a governing board of five members elected from among the homeowners. Our property management company, Gates Hudson Community Management, assists the board.

Georgetown MedStar Medical/Surgical Pavilion Update – October 2018
Posted on Oct 25th, 2018
Surgical Pavilion Update
Posted on Oct 25th, 2018
Dear Members of the Georgetown Community:
As you know, construction has begun for the new MedStar Georgetown University Hospital Medical/Surgical Pavilion.
To prepare for underground utility work, the pedestrian walkway immediately adjacent to the hospital-facing side of St. Mary’s Hall, leading to Epicurean, Darnall Hall and the Student Health Center, will be closed indefinitely beginning Wednesday, October 24. As a result, there will be a new pedestrian route to and from St. Mary’s.
Please see the attached map, which outlines the pedestrian routes (including accessible paths and doors) by Epicurean, Darnall, the Student Health Center and St. Mary’s. New signage will be in place to direct pedestrians. Members of the Georgetown community should use the walkway behind Darnall Hall to access the front entrance of St. Mary’s Hall, which is also the recommended path for those heading to campus from Burleith. Those coming from the Medical Center can access Epicurean and Darnall by either walking along the route near Reservoir Road and following the stairs behind Darnall or by going through the Leavey Center and exiting to the south to follow the sidewalk towards Darnall. For those in St. Mary’s, an accessible route from the lower level of St. Mary’s (south side) to Darnall is in place with a marked crossing near the loading area.
As a reminder, construction has begun on the first phase of work in Darnall plaza. Activities include the removal of the large concrete planters and benches, followed by drilling for steel column installation. The pedestrian path will be configured as shown on the following map.
Per MedStar’s Construction Management Plan, work hours begin at 7 a.m. and end at 7 p.m., with any loud work beginning no earlier than 8 a.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. on Saturdays.
We encourage everyone to use caution and utilize the marked crosswalks to ensure safety around the construction area. We thank you for your patience and understanding during all construction activities.
Sincerely,
Gregory Simmons
Interim Vice President, Planning and Facilities Management
